Good article reassessment for Somerset Coal Canal
[edit]Somerset Coal Canal has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 17:08, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- I didn't spot this one at the time, or I might have had a go at sorting it. It is a bit more problematic than the River Avon (above), as there is no record of the original GAN. Bob1960evens (talk) 08:16, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Bob1960evens: There is; it's the first two sections at Talk:Somerset Coal Canal (Survey and Review for GA); the assessment edits are here and here. Back then, GANs seem to have been conducted on the main talk page, they didn't use subpages. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:28, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Redrose64: Thanks for the info, although I still can't find any details of what was changed at the time. Maybe nothing was. Bob1960evens (talk) 11:42, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- These edits fall within the timeframe. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:27, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

- Does anyone have a copy of Halse & Castens (2000) The Somersetshire Coal Canal - A Pictorial Survey, or any of the other books referenced in the Somerset Coal Canal article, but without quoting page numbers? (Halse & Castens is available on Amazon, but at £114.95 for 48 pages is a bit expensive) Halse & Castens is cited 8 times, but there are no page numbers for any of them.

- I have done a lot of editing to bring this back into shape. I am just left with one ref to Down, C.G.; Warrington, A. J. (2005). The history of the Somerset coalfield. Radstock: Radstock Museum. ISBN 978-0-9551684-0-6, which needs a page number. I am reluctant to just remove the info, but cannot find a copy of the book at a sensible price. Bob1960evens (talk) 22:47, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
Bond End Canal
[edit]Just a heads up that I've created Bond End Canal, covering a short, abandoned canal in Burton-on-Trent. I've not created a canal article before so there may be some layout or content bits I've missed. Any and all contributions welcome - Dumelow (talk) 20:14, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
